Surprise Weddings in West Auckland; Celebrant: Alexa Bartlett.

It was a delight to officiate at this happy event at the home of Juliette and Jacob. No doubt it was BIG SURPRISE for the guests of this happy couple as  they gathered here to celebrate a house warming and engagement party. Little did they know they were here to witness a wedding.  What a great afternoon.

With all the costs involved with formal weddings many couples are opting for a more casual setting. Without all the expense of paying for all the trimmings couples  are enjoying sharing their vows in a more relaxed and informal setting. CONGRATULATIONS  Juliette and Jacob,it was an honour to officiate,   may you have a wonderful life together, supported with a great family and friends.

The smiles on their faces said it all! It was certainly MY PLEASURE to share this wonderful occasion with this happy couple.
Congratulations to you both. Alexa  x
